As the season changes into Spring, allergies are always at a high. You may come across stories and news reports of air pollution, and how it impacts health, but how frequently are you considering your indoor air quality? What are some tips to ensure you are taking advantage of the air quality in your home.
Trust Zoltera to get the job done right, the first time! Below are top 5 tips to improve indoor air quality.
Tip #1 - Monitor Indoor Air Quality
Some indoor air pollutants can be invisible and odorless, making them easy to miss without monitoring tools. One way to catch if you have poor quality, is if in the mornings, you wake up with a dry mouth - most likely your indoor air is polluted or not properly ventilated. Remember, each home has customizable air quality, no home is the same!
Tip #2 - Ensure Proper Ventilation and Control Humidity
This is such an important, yet forgotten step. Use exhaust fans when you are cooking on your stovetop (always), and use your bath fans when taking a bath or shower. Your indoor humidity should be read between 30-50%. Humidifiers are great for this, but too much humidity can also be a problem resulting in mold.

Tip #4 - Maintain Existing Equipment
